After spending some time training with Oleksandr Usyk, Fabio Wardley is now gunning for the undisputed heavyweight king’s crown.
Wardley shocked the world on October 25, scoring a shocking 11th-round knockout against Joseph Parker to claim the interim WBO heavyweight world title. Wardley was down six rounds when he unleashed an onslaught of strikes that prompted referee Howard Foster to step in and call for the stoppage.
While the finish itself sparked a heated debate on social media, Wardley isn’t interested in dwelling on the past. He’s looking forward to the future and feeling quite confident about his chances not only of securing a fight with Usyk but of becoming the first man to beat him.
